About Knafa
Knafa, also spelled Kunafa, is a Middle Eastern dessert celebrated for its rich flavors and indulgent textures. It consists of shredded phyllo dough or semolina dough, layered with sweetened cheese or a creamy filling, and soaked in a fragrant syrup made from sugar and rose or orange blossom water. Often topped with crushed pistachios, this delectable treat hails from countries like Lebanon, Palestine, and Turkey, showcasing the region's love for aromatic desserts. While Knafa provides calcium and protein from its cheese base and healthy fats from nuts, it is high in sugar and saturated fats, making it a calorie-dense option. Moderation is key when enjoying this sweet delight, which remains a staple at festive gatherings and celebrations.
